A method for reserving a lodging, the method comprising:

• receiving, from a client computing device, a search query comprising one or more criteria associated with a split stay;
• generating, by a search system, a mixture query based at least in part on the one or more criteria, the mixture query associated with mixture query instructions logically grouped according to functionality the mixture query instructions provide when executed by the search system;
• generating, based at least in part on the mixture query and the mixture query instructions, a first subquery associated with a first leg of the split stay and a second subquery associated with a second leg of the split stay;
• receiving a first set of search results for the first subquery and a second set of search results for the second subquery;
• determining a split stay option comprising a first stay option from the first set of search results and a second stay option from the second set of search results;
• and
• providing the split stay option to the client computing device for presentation.

A non-transitory, computer-readable storage medium that comprises instructions that, when executed by at least one processor, cause the at least one processor to perform operations for reserving a lodging, the operations comprising:

• receiving, from a client computing device, a search query comprising one or more criteria associated with a split stay;
• generating, by a search system, a mixture query based at least in part on the one or more criteria, the mixture query associated with mixture query instructions logically grouped according to functionality the mixture query instructions provide when executed by the search system;
• generating, based at least in part on the mixture query and the mixture query instructions, a first subquery associated with a first leg of the split stay and a second subquery associated with a second leg of the split stay;
• receiving a first set of search results for the first subquery and a second set of search results for the second subquery;
• determining a split stay option comprising a first stay option from the first set of search results and a second stay option from the second set of search results;
• and
• providing the split stay option to the client computing device for presentation.

A system for reserving a lodging, the system comprising:

• one or more processors;
• one or more tangible, non-transitory computer-readable media operably connectable to the one or more processors and storing instructions that, when executed, cause the one or more processors to perform operations comprising:
• receiving, from a client computing device, a search query comprising one or more criteria associated with a split stay;
• generating, by a search system, a mixture query based at least in part on the one or more criteria, the mixture query associated with mixture query instructions logically grouped according to functionality the mixture query instructions provide when executed by the search system;
• generating, based at least in part on the mixture query and the mixture query instructions, a first subquery associated with a first leg of the split stay and a second subquery associated with a second leg of the split stay;
• receiving a first set of search results for the first subquery and a second set of search results for the second subquery;
• determining a split stay option comprising a first stay option from the first set of search results and a second stay option from the second set of search results;
• and
• providing the split stay option to the client computing device for presentation.
